King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 443 - 443 438 Between Deity and Epics

Chapter 443: Chapter 438: Between Deity and Epics Chapter 443: Chapter 438: Between Deity and Epics “Fated to die? Why?” Muria seemed puzzled. Without a doubt, Demon Lords have the capability to battle against divinities. Why would such beings face certain death upon entering the Material World?

“Demon Lord of the Abyss, do you know what kind of beings they essentially are?” asked the Golden Dragon Mother.

“Similar to divinities?” Muria ventured a guess.

“They lie between epics and divinities. In the Abyss, they are even freer than the divinities of our world. But compared to epics, they face more restrictions,”

Said Dragon Mother Atreus with an inexplicable expression, “This is determined by the composition of the Abyss. The Abyss is not a complete world; it is formed from countless fragments of shattered worlds. The will of the Abyss is chaotic because it is a conglomerate of the fragmented will of countless worlds.

“Each layer of the Abyss can be considered a remnant world, possessing its own independent will and source power. Demons who win its favour could obtain source power, and the capability to combat the divinities. A demon who can harness all the source power of a layer of the Abyss is a Demon Lord, a ruler of the fragmentary world.”

“Ruler of the world!” Muria squinted. If fragments exist, completeness must also exist, but not in the Erathia World. The hierarchy of the Erathia World is too high; it is almost impossible to earn its favour.

“To our world, these Demon Lords, whose bodies are imbued with source power, are the most delicious food. Devouring them is akin to devouring the plane of the Abyss.

As long as these Abyss Lords dare to enter Erathia, many divinities will respond to the call of the World’ Will and attack them.”

“Wait a minute, isn’t it said that divinities can only deploy avatars in the Material World, capable of no more than the strength at the Legendary Peak?”

“Special circumstances warrant special treatment. Although the World Will doesn’t have self-consciousness, it’s not as rigid as you think. If a Demon Lord makes its true body descend, the true gods will receive temporary permissions to go all-out.”

“…” After listening to the Golden Dragon Mother’s explanation, Muria furrowed her brows, sensing something unusual, “According to what you say, the World Will allows permissions to kill the Demon Lords because it needs their source power. But what about epics? The source power in epics’ bodies is also not under the World Will’s control. Why don’t the divinities kill the epics?”

“Muria, you must know, from the moment you were born, you were marked by this world. For the world, you are its offspring. No matter what achievements you attain, as long as you don’t fall and enter a world similar to the Abyss, the World Will won’t harm you,”

Explained the Golden Dragon Mother patiently, “In the eyes of the world, divinities are the shields for defence, and epics are the swords for offense. Having only shields means always being attacked passively, so the nearly unrestricted existence of epics is necessary.”

“I see,” Muria nodded in sudden realization. Now, he had a deeper understanding of the existence of epics and divinities.

“How strong is this projection?” Muria gazed up at Dimo Gao Gen’s projection in the sky and asked curiously because she saw that during the time the Golden Dragon Mother was explaining, the ancient dragon and the titan had appeared one after another, all of them wearing an expression as if they were facing a formidable enemy and facing the ghastly projection.

“There are many kinds of Demon Lords. Those controlling an Abyss layer are called Demon Lords, and those controlling ten layers of the Abyss are also called Demon Lords. However, there is a vast gap between them.”

The Golden Dragon Mother looked at the ever-solidifying projection of Dimo Gao Gen. Her expression grew somber, “Dimo Gao Gen claiming to be the strongest demon is indeed a joke, but his power is enough to rank among the top of all the active Demon Lords.”

“Considering the world’s current situation, Dimo Gao Gen will undoubtedly display the strength at the Legendary Peak, and before the world finishes assimilating the Abyss, don’t even dream of wearing out his strength. It’s impossible.”

Ansol, who had been monitoring Muria, appeared before him and continued to explain in a calm tone.

…

“Why are there so many ancient dragons? Why are there titans?” Dimo Gao Gen, who had projected his consciousness here, looked at the legends surrounding him, feeling a bit stunned. This was not what he had envisioned.

According to his plan, after his projection descended, he would start a massive slaughter, killing as many creatures as he could, and if possible, destroying the avatars of several divinities in the end.

Only then could he win the favor of the will of the Abyss and earn the control of another layer of the Abyss. Apart from this, Dimo Gao Gen had no other pursuits.

In fact, if not to please the will and earn its favor and rewards, hardly any Demon Lord would project here. Compared to other weak Material Worlds, Erathia World was too dangerous. There were too many strong creatures dwelling in it.

“Are they waiting for my complete arrival?” Seeing the titans, who were keeping the ancient dragons from attacking him instead of attacking him themselves, Dimo Gao Gen grew annoyed.

Being a notorious Demon Lord in the Abyss, he naturally had an impression of creatures like titans. Regardless of who it was, they could hardly forget those who had severely beaten them. This was an unforgettable experience, deeply imprinted.

“Ignorant titan!” The two heads of Dimo Gao Gen roared upwards simultaneously. The space broke, and a vast, dirty water area, a projection of his lair, appeared behind him. It was the 88th layer of the Abyss, the Demon Stomach, also known as the Saline Swamp.

As the projection of the layer of the Abyss began to materialize, countless demons poured out from it. All these demons were controlled by the Demon Lord’s spirit light.

While roaring, Dimo Gao Gen not only summoned his subordinate demons but also released a sinister and fierce power fluctuation that spread along with the roaring sound.

In the Royal Capital, countless commoners, who were either fleeing or petrified due to the appearance of Dimo Gao Gen, became dry corpses with their flesh and bones withered after being swept over by that sinister fluctuation.

“Bastard!” Sensing the disappearance of numerous life force in the Royal Capital, Muria, who was standing next to the Golden Dragon Mother, was burning with rage. After that fluctuation swept over his body, his strength started to deplete uncontrollably, and this avatar almost collapsed.

Withering! Strength extraction! These were the signature abilities of Demon Lord Dimo Gao Gen.

“Shriek!” Before the titans could charge to attack, a piercing roar came from the Cloud Island near the Royal City, filled with hostility and fury.
